A rep with a large notebook explained that Goodwill has always been proactive in pulling recalled childrens&#8217; items.  At least this thrift store chain appears to be using some  commons sense and at least in Omaha, Nebraska, isn&#8217;t making it policy to not sell anything for children!</p>

She explains how Selecta has pulled their eco-friendly toys from the US market. And toys are not the only items that could run scarce. That sweet handmade dress for your little princess or 100% organic cotton onesie for your bouncing baby boy may be on the &#8220;extinct&#8221; handmade list as well due to stringent testing that will go into force per the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act on February 10, 2009. AND HANDMADE  BABY BOOTIES if not TESTED will be ILLEGAL!</p>
